Warblers haven't been especially numerous yet, but today, walking through Somerville, I heard and saw several. There was a black-and-white on the bike path near Davis Square, then another warbler singing from a tree in a yard on Prospect Hill. Then later from my own yard I saw the Wilson's warbler above, and the magnolia warbler below.
I'd also been surprised in the last week to see a couple hermit thrushes, who by my reckoning were weeks late. But maybe they were something else. The one below is Swainson's:
It was being relentlessly bullied by the local robins, in a disheartening display of thrush-on-thrush violence.
Then there was this one:
Is this a veery? Looks like it, though the photo is poor -- but it could also be the same thrush shown above, seen at a different time and in a different light.
